Why is /g/ so salty about Linus?
It's obvious it isn't a serious channel anymore and you have to be a moron to watch it for the benchmarks, reviews, etc. But it has entertainment value, and that's why people watch it
>>58872416
It's astounding he gets views at all then, seriously.
Linus embodies everything wrong with YouTube, it's not about content or indeed even quality, considering how much the faggot spends on 'pro gear' to shoot his paid unboxings. It's about how many twelve year olds you can cater to, the quality of his videos is dropping yet he employs and 'makes use of' like twelve employees? And buys them all frivolous gifts? Really wish this cunt would go under, his success to effort ratio is absolute arse.
A customer support agent just requested that I provide proof of destruction of my defective headphone cables so that they can send me a replacement.
How should I go about this to get the replacement cables while not destroying the defective cables? I'm not good at image manipulation, nor do I have any powerful enough program to even make an attempt, so I doubt I could just shoop it.
Any suggestions about how I could persuade the support agent, or at least trick them?
You're holding back info anon
Why, What, When, Where, How?
>>58871457
>Why
I want to keep the defective cables because one of the ears is still functional and the defective ear can semi-reliably maintain constant audio playback when in the right position. It seems like a useless waste for me to destroy these defective but otherwise partially functional headphone cables simply because of corporate nonsense.
>What
They are replacement detachable headphone cables for my headphones. I purchased a replacement pair directly from the manufacturer and they were defective.
>When
The purchase occurred less than a month ago and I am currently in correspondence with customer support regarding a replacement for my defective product.
>Where
The facility from which I received the package is most likely in Singapore, since that was the mailer address written on the package. I am in the United States.
>How
Depending on what you mean by that question, that is exactly what I'm trying to find out.
>>58871488
>Take a picture of the damaged cables
I have already provided images of the damaged cables to the customer support agent. There is minimal visible damage to the headphone cables and what minor damage to the external protective layer does not appear to be causally related to the ear plug jack's audio playback issues. I received instructions about destroying my cables AFTER I submitted the initial images upon the agent's request. As far as I'm aware, the manufacturing defect is internal to the cables and thus not readily visible. If it were, I suspect that would be sufficient proof that the product was damaged for the company to write it off as a tax deduction.
>why would you need to destroy them if they don't work?
If I'm not mistaken, it has to do with "proof of destruction" criteria related to tax write-offs for damaged inventory. Normally, customers return their product through the mail, which is either tested and refurbished or (almost always) simply destroyed at the facility and the customers receive a new replacement. A more cost-effective option for the business is for the customer to destroy the product and provide photographic proof of destruction so that the company can still legally satisfy the criteria to write off the product as damaged. This is important for the company because most private commercial entities receive tax deductions according to their damaged, missing, or otherwise unsellable (in some circumstances) inventory. This includes defective products.
Additionally, it serves as a means of preventing abuse of product returns.
I have a 1TB external drive, lets all argue over which option is better.
A. Have drive be all ext4 and set up windows to read/write ext4
B. Have drive be all NTFS and set up GNU/Linux to read/write NTFS
C. Split the drive half NTFS half ext4
Well?
op here, apparantly you can't write to ext4 under windows?
>>58871482
>op here, apparantly you can't write to ext4 under windows?
Nope. You can through Samba if you have a Linux NAS for example. Or you share the files from a Linux host to a Windows guest VM or vice versa.
Personally I run Linux as my main OS and Windows in a VM, and sharing ext4 partitions using samba works fine. Windows can both write and read from those shared partitions in that case.
>>58871412
external? NTFS, anyOS reads that.

TL;DR TWC is being sued for not delivering promised speeds to customers, thus defrauding customers and reflecting poorly on Netflix and LoL.
>>58871312
Correct me if I am wrong, but cable ISPs don't promise much of anything. They say "we'll deliver speeds up to xmbits"
Notice the words up and to.
>>58871552
The claim partially rests on the fact that Time Warner wasn't even coming close, and doing so consistently. Customers were paying for speeds varying from 50-300 Mbps and only receiving 25-45. Furthermore, TWC knowingly leased customers older routers that were incapable of handling the level of service that customers were paying for in the first place.
>>58871552
I think it's a bit more interesting than that.
If the customers sign up for up to 50Mpbs and they get 10, ISP is still holding their end of the deal.
But the customers have a 50Mpbs plan and Netflix only ever gives them 10, it looks like Netflix is doing badly, even if the problem is actually the ISP
Hey /g/. I upgraded to win 10 from 8.1, and just wanted to know what i could do to block as much as microsoft as possible from getting info on me and my pc. I know its almost impossible to fully block them, but how can i make it more secure. Pic unrelated

You've already lost.
You can do it by getting back to the 8.1

THANK YOU BASED NVIDIA
yea how bout an X1 in a tablet?
>>58870786
That's not gonna happen because Nintendo is eating up all the SoCs they can fab for the Switch
Maybe next year when the next-gen Tegra with Volta GPU SoC, but wouldn't hold my breath either for that
>>58870843
okay so nvidia has literally fuck all for actual mobile then. The K1 Tablet is using shitty A15 cores even after the relaunch. Fuck Nvidia.
